Thanks are due to everyone who contributed to this campaign. The Militant depends entirely on contributions from its supporters to keep the paper coming out and to reach out and respond to developments in the class struggle wherever they occur. For example, fund contributions have helped make possible the Militant reporting team that is now in Caracas to cover the Venezuela Book Fair, headed up by editor Argiris Malapanis.

A contributor from Minnesota sent a letter along with her donation. She explained, “For some time now I have established the practice, at my job, of having $50 per paycheck deposited automatically into a special savings account, with the plan that at some point I would use the money for a vacation.

“Occasional vacations are a fine idea,” she wrote, “but at this juncture in history, with the potential influence of the Militant, it seems both more important and more joyful to contribute to the Militant instead!

“If I just take a vacation, I will only get a short break from work, and the money will disappear instantly. But if I add this amount to the funds others are giving towards expanding the readership of the Militant, I am making a difference in history!”

Its with that spirit that working people who appreciate the paper made this drive a resounding success.
